No one expected President Obama to use the words “Islamic terrorism” or “Islamic extremism” during his State of the Union address, even when talking about ISIS or the recent terrorist attacks in France. There was always the chance he’d slip up and violate the White House speech code by dropping the “I” word, but no. No need to limit one’s options when it comes to extremism.
"… assisting people everywhere who stand up to the bankrupt ideology of violent extremism," Obama said in #SOTU.https://t.co/4wvwkVWpUF

"The bankrupt ideology of violent extremism” He’s talking around it…but not talking about it. @93wibc #SOTU2015

Did he just say "violent extremism? Apparently even the word "radical" is too insensitive.

Violent extremism- no mention of Islam.

I will stand up to violent extremists from ISIS to overly aggressive Walmart greeters – Obama (No mention of Islam) #SOTU

He can say violent extremism until the cows come home but dare he utter Islamic terrorism?

Obama says "bankrupt ideology of violent extremism." Everyone
else with an ounce of integrity says "Islamic extremism." #SOTU— Buck Sexton (@BuckSexton) January 21, 2015

I'm sure 2,058 people have made this point already, but "violent extremism" isn't an ideology, is it? Seems like more of a tactic/approach.

Look out for the dark and seductive ideology of "violent extremism." #tcot #SOTU

Hoping POTUS in #SOTU would name "radical Islamism" as the "ideology" we are fighting? Sorry, he refers only to "violent extremism."
